I'm using Solr, it works quite nicely. Digg also uses Solr. To an extent though, it depends on how often you need to build the indexes, and how large your dataset is. But I've been rather happy so far with Solr and its faceting capability. So far we haven't needed to scale with load balanced Solr instances, I believe Digg uses upwards of 16 machines in master/slave configuration, but they do a lot of searching. :) Cheers, Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
